There are several reasons to use or not to use both either Qemu or VMware. It is mainly just preference. Personally, I prefer QEMU. It is a little harder to set up, but once it is, the fact that I can just click on a Linux/Windows/Mac/BSD icon on my desktop and a fully functional OS pop up in a dedicated window is nice, but, again, mainly preference. Also, I would recommend the May 2006 issue of Linux Journal to those who want a more in depth look at each. It also covers Xen and User-Mode Linux.

I downloaded and ran it. Looks good, but superkaramba has a problem with
the liquid wheather theme. I can provide the backtrace if that is useful.
I have the same configuration at home and there superkaramaba/liquid
wheather is working fine. So, at 1st glance it looks a problem with the
vmware image.

Thank-you for making this available. I am pleased to have KDE 3.5.4 on SUSE Linux 10.1 running on my Microsoft Windows XP machine using VMPlayer. It was good to try something other than Fedora which I have on my Linux machine. YAST is pretty spiffy. Thanks, again.

I run the image in VMware Workstation 5.5.1.
- In Yast2 it is not possible to change the keyboard layout. The module does not start. No messages.
- It is not possible to start Sax2 (in order to change the layout there). No messages.
- If I go back to runlevel 3 (Init 3), it is not possible to log in:
# user: root
# password: toor
# error in service module

I seem to be unable to find/add the correct update repositories. The mirror included in yast contains older software than what is installed. I've read documentation but every mirror I add has the same problem. Any ideias ?
